Description
Small horse spiders . The length of females is from 6.8 to 10.5 mm, males from 5.2 to 6.5 mm. The main color is dark brown with light and dark marks; chelicerae reddish brown; pedipalps with whitish hairs [3] . They feed mainly on other spiders. Touching the web, they can simulate the movement of a wind blow to go unnoticed. Thanks to good vision, they can approach the victim, go unnoticed, and quickly attack [4] .
